LEAS P.O.V.

It's the next day and investigation finally starts. I chose the meeting place, while 25 of our best members were guarding us. Mattia and i were waiting for his father and the twins. When they finally came, i was the one who started the conversation.

"We've gathered here because of horrible events that have caused our gang chaos and disaster. Since my father isn't able to have an appearance as a leader, I'm representing him." I say, with a calm and clear tone. Their attention is on me, since im the only female in the room.

"We, as a duo, represent our father as well" grayson said.

"Okay, then i guess we can start investigating" mattia said and light up a cigarette, but paolo instantly took it out of his hands, giving him a dirty look.

"I believe it's mine and my brothers duty to investigate this case, because it was our father and we have to be the ones who should do this" grayson said,looking over at ethan, which was silent the entire time. The one word that I've heard from him was when he said his name and thats it. He doesn't seem to like talking.

"No, it's OUR duty, because since this group has been established, not a single work has been done independently. I want to help because my dad is injured as well and i believe we have to work like a group as well" i say while ethan looks at me and i look at him. His face is more lifeless than the last time. Even his stare says nothing, his eyes are quiet.

"Well then, i guess we have to start from the bottom. We need a list of any other existing gangs in LA and the businesses that we've done for the past 2 years. All the shootings, fights, blood that has been poured, any type of information will be helpful" ethan said and i didn't expect that. It's probably the biggest sentence he has ever said.

"fantastico! allora mettiamoci al lavoro." (Fantastic! Then let's get to work.) Paolo said and looked at mattia.




It's been an entire week since the funeral. On Tuesday, we finally buried sean. It was a dark, deep day. Even tho it's august and sun is thriving in LA, that day was pretty chill. My mind still shows me the picture of Lisa crying her heart out while grayson and ethan held her hands, still with cold faces. I knew they felt pain, but the scene of them holding hands made me emotional as well. It meant they would get through it together.

On Wednesday we started the investigation. I had to sit down and make a list of gangs that could possibly want us to be weak. I even remembered that club shooting.

On Thursday i went in a different boxing place. I needed to train with professionals since everyone was bussy investigating, i had to burn my sadness somewhere else.

On friday i visited my dad once again. I was visiting him everyday, sat next to him and talked to him about what was happening in the gang.
On saturday i trained once again and then met up with the gang.

"There was a possible feud with Russian gang last year, they offered us to make..... Accordo (agreement) about selling their weapon, but we turned it down because they're known for.... il imbroglione"(swindlers) grayson explained, making small pauses in between words, i wasn't impressed, i almost forgot english while being in italy as well.

"So they're in the list of the suspects?" I asked.

"Yes, because they were pretty agressive saying that we have too many areas around the world, and they'd want to get some territory in Mexico but once again we denied" he said, sitting down and looking up at me.

"I guess we've had a lot of enemies for years but i feel like this investigation won't help unless we look at things differently. Whoever did this, had a special intention. They knew what was going to happen after, and i believe we first have to find somebody inside the gang. If we have an enemy, they probably have someone helping them from inside. Otherwise how'd they know when and where were the leaders at the same time?" I said.

"That's a good point" all of a sudden i heard a voice behind me. It was ethan, standing in the frame of the door, looking at me while having his hands crossed.

"She's right, there's no point in looking from the outside. We have to be more specific." He continued and walked inside slowly and looked down at the documents that me and grayson layed out on the table. I couldn't help but notice his hand tattoos. "3737" on his fingers and "can't fold" in the middle of his palm. His hair was always perfectly brushed upwards and he smelled like vanilla. After i realised i was looking at him too much, i got back to work.

On Sunday, i decided to chill so i went to see my team. Kiernan, carlo, and alexa were hanging out with alejandro and kairi at the hotel bar. We drank a little and started remembering old times when i was all new. Mattia came in, he was all dressed up, hair was better than usual and his face had a slightly happy expression.

"Mr. Polibio is that a smile i see?" I smiled at him and gave him a martini glass.

"What smile are you talking about?" He said and instantly drank it, making his face expression all serious and boring as always. After being quiet for a little he started talking to me.

"I've been seeing Nana for an entire week" he said and i started coughing on my martini.

"You're still stalking her?"

"No, ofcourse not. She called me few days ago and we've been meeting and talking. I even told her about Amalia" he said and looked away.

"Mattia look at me" i told him and started deeply in his eyes. He turned his head towards me slowly and looked inside my eyes.

"Do i have to worry?" I said while not taking my eyes away from his.

"Can i be sure in you that you won't hurt her" i said and he shook his head.

"Lea what are you even talking about" he said, and looked down.

"Mattia, im serious."

He looked in my eyes once again, in silence.

Small pause.

"Ofcourse you can trust me." He said and i finally felt how something heavy was taken away from my shoulders.
